Milwaukee Road reefer
- Discussion relating to The Chicago & North Western, the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad (Milwaukee Road), including mergers, acquisitions, and abandonments.

The green paint leads me to believe that this car was likely downgraded from the general-service fleet and assigned to the Maintenance of Way Department for storage purposes. A reefer would provide more protection from extremes of weather, and might be easier to secure as well.
What a revoltin' development this is! (William Bendix)

Micro-Trains did a model of this car in N Scale, not perfect match but a reasonable stand in for most folks.

Eye candy indeed, if I remember this correctly from the Milw Color Guide Vol 1, (Morning Sun) this color is supposed to be blue, and I believe signified the car had been re-assigned from revenue to company service as an Ice Supply car to provide ice for older passenger equipment and express pershiables at intermediate service points primarily along the Pacific Extension.
